I'm with you on this one... ...Went to a Dyno Day at RE Customs and got almost 150kws... ...So I tell people that... ...It's got what it's got...

However... ...If you're a tool in a Comedydor and you ask me at the lights I might just say it's a little shy of 250kws... ...And then let you tear up those sweet looking steel stockies as you try to prove you've got more ba-- *ahem* power... :P

That's pretty much what I did. Up until it was dyno'd, if someone asked me what power it has, I would say "I dunno, never been dyno'd, but if I had to guess... 180?" I copped a bit of shit for that number but it was the best guess I had...

The car was stock (intercooler ONLY), plus I was young and naive!

Then it got dyno'd at 178.2 :D runs a higher then factory PSI for some unknown reason... Man that shut some people up :D

Common man, we all know your car is a bigger piece of crap... even when pitted against the highly unreliable and highly flammable HR31

:P

we shall see who wins when benno has time 2 look at it ... u will cry when if tell how it happened

on a slghtly related topic (not like that matters in this thread anyhow) what really gets me is the discussion with holden owners who think that my 265rwkw is slow compared to a stock SS because holden like to stick pretty numbers on the back... :banana:

that's because the falcodore drivers beleive the numbers on the back is what car can "really" do.

I love explainig to these fools that the numbers on the back is what the engine pumps out not what it does at the wheels and they all go "nah man, that's crap it what it does at the wheels" and then see them get beaten by 'line, stagea, 180SX, WRX etc. and have the look of disbeleif on their faces

Don't the hsv's have a small dyno print out stuck under the bonnet off how many killerwasps the car puts out..?

I think the Corvette has a plarque welded in to say what the kW reading is.

LOL!

yeah but that could be from an engine dyno readout...which while it's good because you know how much kw/hp the motor can pump out, still doesn't relate to rwkw/rwhp

beacuse if it was a read out at the wheels....wouldn't make the badging seem...so fake and full of lies??

i have had heaps of funny things said

"your that evo that is running anti lag arnt you?"

what mods you have? it stock just uped boost and exhuast Bull shit know evo is that quick you must have big turbo and built engine

your that evo with over 300kw

your that evo with over 240kw and running launch control

it dont bother me much anymore i let people talk say what they want i dont even list my mods anymore and what im running just let people talk and let times do the talking

Yep, thats what I was getting at.

Thanks.

OK,

I'm sure youv'e all got a mate or no of somebody like this but what is it with dudes claiming massive power outputs on relatively stock cars. I'm not going to even look into the pshycology of it all but man it pissses me off.

So yesterday I was at a mates shop rewiring a hole heap of stuff and general maintenance and a unnamed SAU member came by in his 33. He was all like what are you putting down at the treds. I said Last dyno was 231RWKW. He was like yeah iv'e got 340rwkw with a stock turbo on 15psi with just a computer, fuel pump and exhaust. I mean I wanted to just get right into it but I thought f*ck it. What the point…. People like that aren't worth it. I mean I have stock injectors and max them out at full tilt. Now how the hell to I get another 100kw down on those injectors. I have the HKS2535, bosch pump, surge tank, fuel reg, computer, FMIC, exhaust, Z32, Boost control, pod blah blah blah and I cannot squeeze that sorta power out…..

Am I missing something or are these people just living a pipe dream.

I swear i can't stand it, It all ways happen's to me, cant stand it from people with V8's say they have like 200+kws from a standed 5ltr with gears, stage 2 shift kit and monster tacho. One of my mates had a VP 5ltr it only made 118kw.

My mate has a 5.7ltr fully work engine forgies soild cam big bux spent on it, The work shop told him it was makeing 280kw. He told a diffent tuner and he laught and said no way put it on the dyno and it only made 250kw. I ve heard most V8 joint's dyno are way out so it looks better for them.

So i guess the V8 fans are liveing in Fantasy.

Ps has any one ever heard a v8 fan say there engine rated at 500hp Thinking that makes the car 500hp at the weels. :P .

the vx seies made around thew 220 rwkw mark in standard trim... there's a thread round here somewhere where all the recent falcodors were dyno'ed cant remember the exact figure.

so 300rwkw is EASY.

but remember they are 1.8 tonnes too...

11's are EASY with an ls1

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
